The Biggest Biscuit In The World

Of course it isn't really.  To give it some scale though, that's my mug next to it and my mug holds about a pint/half a liter of tea.

Back at work despite feeling iffy because today we were going to have an introduction to a new software tool that we have access to for 2 weeks.  The idea being that we use to find what it can and can't do.  And because it is a "plug-in", the idea was that we should just be able to plug and play.

Of course, plug-and-play NEVER works like that in a work setting.  Especially when we have a three pin plug and a two pin socket.  And so it turned out.  We got as far as logging in and then there was a lovely black screen where every so often the message "Connection Failure - will try again in 15 seconds" appeared.  That's not really an aid to productivity, that's more a "it doesn't work" statement.

Still time booked and all that, so we went through the somewhat comedic "This is what it could do, and this as well - isn't that brilliant?" presentation for 2 hours.  I especially liked being told that we could configure EVERYTHING just how we wanted.  

Except for the getting it to work bit, which is obviously overrated.

Bizarrely  I didn't find it boring at all.  Normally when there's a blah-blah-blah presentation about something that we can't actually see, my mind wanders and I inevitably have to get up to stop myself falling asleep.  Not today.  I found it fascinating.  And those biscuits are really tasty.
